What would a matrix \(A\) look like if \(A_{i j}=0\) whenever \(i \neq j\) ?
If you think of numbers as \(1 \times 1\) matrices, which numbers are invertible \(1 \times 1\) matrices?
Is it possible for \(a 2 \times 3\) matrix to equal a \(3 \times 2\) matrix? Explain.
Evaluate the given expression. Take$$\begin{aligned}&A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}0 & -1 \\\1 & 0 \\\\-1 & 2 \end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{rr}0.25 & -1 \\\0 & 0.5 \\\\-1 & 3\end{array}\right], \text { and } \\\&C=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & -1 \\\1 & 1 \\\\-1 & -1\end{array}\right].\end{aligned}$$ $$ A+B-C $$
Multiple Choice: If \(A\) is a square matrix with \(A^{3}=I\), then (A) \(A\) must be the identity matrix. (B) \(A\) is invertible. (C) \(A\) is singular. (D) \(A\) is both invertible and singular.
